And the winner is... The university's internal Research Competition Mozarteum (RCM) took place for the 5th time in 2023 and has established itself as a fixed part of the university's annual schedule. On December 6, the best submissions were honored at the Award Ceremony with the involvement of the international RCM jury.

This year's Research Competition Mozarteum Awards for particularly successful scientific/artistic research proposals go to:
Prize: Bettina Egger (IE Wissenschaft & Kunst) for her project "Graphic Spaces of eco-memory" in which she combines theoretical and practical research approaches to graphic novels and comics in an innovative way that goes beyond conventional research methods.
Prize: Andreas Bernhofer and his team for their proposal "Bridging the Music Map - connecting places of youth and school music", which aims to open up music lessons to contemporary musical practices in youth culture using contemporary pedagogical practices.
Prize: Nina Maria Perauer (music education student, Innsbruck), whose project empirically examines the competence-oriented curricula for music lessons.
A novelty of this year's RCM was that the applications - which had already been submitted before the summer - could be sharpened and revised in an internal university quality circle with advice and feedback from a "critical friend". Many of these critical friends were present at the award ceremony; a strong sign that research is increasingly perceived as a collaborative and unifying element.
We warmly congratulate the award winners and everyone who took part in RCM 2023!
At the national competition for German-speaking drama students in Frankfurt, the final year of the Thomas Bernhard Institute at the Mozarteum University won several prizes for its production of Elfriede Jelinek's "The Silent Girl". In addition to the Swiss Ensemble Prize and the Audience Prize/Students' Prize, we are delighted to have won two solo prizes for Payam Yazdani and Joyce Mayne Sanhá.
Nikita Buldyrski, actor and graduate of the Thomas Bernhard Institute, is honoured with the prestigious Alfred Kerr Actor Award. The prize is awarded annually for an outstanding performance by a young actor in one of the ten productions at the Berlin Theatre Meeting. It is endowed with 5,000 euros in prize money and is awarded by the Alfred Kerr Foundation with the support of the Berliner Festspiele.
Sarah Nemtsov, renowned composer and university professor of composition at the Mozarteum University, will receive the Heidelberger Künstlerinnenpreis 2025 for her outstanding contributions to contemporary music. The prize, which has been endowed with 10,000 euros since 2025, is one of the most important cultural prizes in Germany and is the only prize in the world to be awarded exclusively to female composers.
